About Jotmans Hall Primary School

Jotmans Hall Primary School in Castle Point received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in July 2024, a downgrade from the Good rating it had held in its previous inspection. The inspection found that while pupils' personal development and behaviour are both Good, the quality of education, early years provision, and leadership and management all require improvement. On the most informative exam metric available, the school's Key Stage 2 combined reading, writing and maths expected standard attainment sits at 42 per cent. That is a full 20 percentage points below the Essex local authority average of 62 per cent for primary schools, and places Jotmans Hall at the very bottom of the 19 primary schools in Castle Point. Nationally, the school ranks in the bottom 11 per cent of all primaries on this measure.
